    There was freezing rain, but they already said that it wasn't weather related. The ATR is specifically known for its problems during icing.

    I think of American Eagle flight 4184 which was an ATR-72 that went down in Indiana back in 94 due to icing on the wings

    ATRs are used on southern/carib routes for that reason.

    Glad the crew was ok.

    Was Wilson on board?

    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
